Yellowstone National Park

September 2001

We reached Yellowstone National Park around 4:00 pm on September 15th and set up in the Fishing Bridge RV
Park for seven days. No snow and temperatures from the high 20's to the middle 60's it is very pleasant(with
the heater on). We left after five days and took close to 500 picutres. Yellowstone Park is 3,472 Square
miles or 2,221,823 acres, less than 2% has been developed. Magmatic heat that powers the eruptions still
powers the park's geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots. Established in 1872, Yellowstone National
Park is America's first national park. Located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, it is home to a large variety
of wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, bison, and elk. Preserved within Yellowstone National Park are
Old Faithful and a collection of the world's most extraordinary geysers and hot springs, and the Grand Canyon
of the Yellowstone.
